Denied the chance to ask

I attended the Paxton caucus on Wednesday evening but I did not realize it was an open-and-shut meeting governed by the moderator.

The moderator, Mr. Hall, never opened the floor to the caucus members so questions could be presented to a candidate, if desired.

I believe this is the main reason for conducting a caucus - a chance for an individual to question a candidate to find out his/her position and/or thoughts on a given situation, if any exists within the position he or she is seeking. Without a question, one will never know the answer.
